Yep, I tried a compiling a third time. Just for fun and games, even though I've done this successfully many times on 7.3, I carefully followed the procedure spelled out in Red Hat Linux 8.0: The Official Red Hat Linux Customization Guide, Appendix A. Building A Custom Kernel. Compiles still segfault on random modules when doing 'make modules'. BzImage builds fine. Hmm... Bob Cochran Greenbelt, Maryland, USA On Sat, 2002-10-12 at 22:53, Robert L.
